Sometimes I get really tired of it.
This morning I was IMing my son at collage
Me: What do you want for Thanksgiving?
Boy: I don't know
Me: I could make you a Turkey
Boy: but you can't eat Turkey
Me: So? I can eat salad and cranberry sauce
Boy: I don't want to eat something you can't eat!
Me: well I can't do a pork roast, cause you can't eat pork
Boy: True. how about beef?
Me: Beef isn't really a Thanksgiving food :(
Boy: how about Lamb? can you eat Lamb?
Me: Yes! perfect, I make a mean Leg of Lamb!!
Boy: this is a pain you know. LOL
Me: I know, that's why I asked so early
Now what I didn't tell him is that I haven't tried Lamb yet?
I mean Really? How do you add Lamb to an allergy diet??? It's like, and uncommon food! But I can eat beef, so I'm hoping Lamb is cool! I won't eat a lot of it, and I'll take benadryl before hand, just in case!
Now, side dish's???? I can't eat potatoes... make me swell up..... Should I make some for him? Or not? And spinach, asparagus, artichokes, and broccoli are out, for me.... so how about string beans?
So if I make him mashed potatoes, I have to have gravy..... I can't eat gravy cause of the flour in it, but he can.
And so on, and so on and so on.....COOKING SUCKS ANYMORE!
WOW!!! I sure does, in your case. I make ham for David on Thanksgiving but I don't eat it. David usually pigs out. I just have a small salad and pie if I feel like it. I don't really care about Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner that much. I always worked the holidays so the family people could have their time together. It's going to be a strange holiday this year since I'm not working.
ReplyDeleteOuch, that's an awful lot of allergies. No surprise you don't like cooking that much...
ReplyDelete(I'm fortunate enough that the only things I can't have are pineapple and chili powder, and only in large quantities... but hey, I'm allergic to spider bites and sunlight. *g*)
Lamb, I guess, shouldn't be that much of a problem. Or - have you considered fish? Or maybe even vegetarian Thanksgiving? Hmm, it kinda sounds wrong, I know...
Wow. That's horrible! I'm only allergic to eggs so baked goods are a problem. I can completely understand why you hate cooking
ReplyDeleteThat is SO sad! Lol! I am so thankful I have absolutely no food allergies. I think taking the Benadryl ahead of time is a good idea. I don't care for lamb myself but shoot if that's a meat you can eat I would go for it! :)
ReplyDeleteHow about brussel sprouts as a side? You could halve them, and fry them up in a pan with butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Yummay! :P
